A posthumous J Dilla release titled Music From The Lost Scrolls is on the way, compiled by the late producer’s longtime friend and hip-hop counterpart, Frank Nitt. It’ll feature four previously unreleased tracks from Dilla including a song from younger brother Illa J’s collaborative project, Yancey Boys. Opening up side-A of forthcoming four-track record is ‘Dewitt To Do It’, which you may recognise had a former life as ‘Shake It Down’ on the album Welcome 2 Detroit.
